Once upon a time, there lived a dwarf who has never left his overly-cluttered house. Everyday, he sits on his comfy little chair and worked from day to night. This went on for many many years.
One day, a giant found his way to the dwarf's house and demanded that the dwarf give up his comfy little chair. The dwarf, being plump and clumsy, was obviously no match for the gigantic giant who easily tower over him. Without hesitation, he jumped out of his seat and ran to hid in a corner.
Meanwhile, the giant tried to fit into the little chair but failed. However, just as he was about to give up, he had a brainwave. He dismantled the whole chair and built it in such a way that it fitted him. Pitying the dwarf, he let the dwarf stay in his own house and they lived happily ever after. Erm, maybe not quite, cos the dwarf has to sit in a corner everyday and of cos, he couldn't work at all. Oh well, you get the idea.

Ok lame story. But actually, the dwarf in my story is my old, CRT TV set and the giant is actually a new 42-inch flat-screen TV set. The TV set of cos sits on top of a TV console and not a comfy little chair but I did not dismantle the TV console. But yeah, there was much shifting of stuff to make way for this giant. And now, it sits proudly on the TV console while the old TV sits solemnly in a corner, awaiting its destiny. Next step: Try to get used to the new TV.
Was watching the Grand Finale of Singapore Idol on it just now. Damn cool (yes, I know I am a bit suah koo =.=). Anyway, Sezairi won. Though I don't really support anyone, both my sisters are Sylvia fans. They tried to convert me into a Sylvia fan though. But oh well. I just thought it might be more interesting if there's, for once, a female Singapore Idol.
Pretty much nothing happened today. Just the usual stuff and more chionging of homework. Maybe I should had gone for the class Genting trip. They seemed to be having fun there, according to Joy's tweets. But then, I wouldn't have time to finish up my work before Batam and worse, I would miss my final briefing on Tuesday. Oh well. Maybe next time =(
